WHEN DO ARMS MAKE SENSE?
An ARM may make sense If you are confident that your income will increase steadily over the years or if you anticipate a move in the near future and aren’t concerned about potential increases in interest rates.

WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF 15- AND 30-YEAR LOAN TERMS?

30-Year:

In the first 23 years of the loan, more interest is paid off than principal, meaning larger tax deductions. As inflation and costs of living increase, mortgage payments become a smaller part of overall expenses.

15-year:

Loan is usually made at a lower interest rate.
Equity is built faster because early payments pay more principal.

Client Reviews

We had the privilege and blessing to have Rochelle help us purchase our first home! We could not have asked for a better realtor. She was flexible with our hectic schedule, and informative about all the properties. As an agent she respected our price point, needs and wants in our home. Rochelle helped us to understand the home buying process and made what could have been a scary and stressful process
easy and fun! Rochelle always goes above and beyond to help her clients; we would highly recommend Rochelle to help you purchase your next home.

Rochelle has been a delight to work with on the listing of my multi-million-dollar home. With her past experience she has brought innovative marketing concepts to the table not seen before in the Billings market. She applies those, as well as her keen professionalism, attention to detail, and no excuses attitude to working with her clients. I highly recommend her.

Thanks so much for all your patience and enthusiasm in dealing with the purchase of our new home in Billings. It’s not easy to do business as an out-of-state buyer and you were so supportive and made sure that we were fully aware of the steps involved in the transaction. You were definitely in our corner throughout the whole process and we felt that we could rely on you at all times to do exactly what we asked of you. We feel as though you became part of the family! We are looking forward to our move and to seeing you again soon.

She was patient with all the email transactions and was willing to go the extra mile to accomplish our objectives. We felt as though she was part of the family by the time we were done!

Thank you Rochelle and Nels for superb service! Our previous realtor passed away. I didn’t think anyone could live up to his great service. Rochelle and Nels introduced me to the future through their listing of our home. They got our home on the market in record time to catch an important holiday weekend.I knew from the beginning we made the right choice. Nels drone photos, videos and virtual walk through were absolutely amazing! If I had any concern, Rochelle not only gave great insight but it was clear she had done extensive research, knowing all the community stats, trends and numbers to back up her position. Everything from their website, social media blitz, keeping us informed on interested buyers, signage, small unique touches, interaction with realtors and offers were second to none! We had three offers in little more than a month! We couldn’t have been happier. Thank you Rochelle and Nels!
